1. HANDS ON HEAVEN

Your so called friends
In the neighbourhood
Looking at a bad situation
Just a young girl
Working overtime
Oh with a bad reputation
Tumble of the dice
Your numbers coming up
Now you can't always be a loser
How long, how much can you take

Don't stop running
Til' you see me coming
I'll take you all the way
How far will you go

I'll get my
Hands on heaven
Baby when I get my hands on you
I'll get my
Hands on heaven
Tell you what I'm gonna do
When I get my hands on you

Trouble in the streets
You're the talk of all the town
Now you don't need this aggravation
Move on, turn and walk away

They don't know nothing
Just keep on walking
They'll be wishing you back someday
I want you to know

I'll get my
Hands on heaven
Baby when I get my hands on you
I'll get my
Hands on heaven
Tell you what I'm gonna do
When I get my hands on you

I'll get my
Hands on heaven
Baby when I get my hands on you
I'll get my
Hands on heaven
Baby when I get my hands on you
I'll get my
Hands on heaven
Tell you what I'm gonna do
When I get my hands on you


2. IF IT AIN'T DIRTY.....

Well here she comes
I see her walk on by
The way the moves
Will make a grown man cry
She's got a nasty reputation
Built to please
With a bad girl sway
I move on over
As she looks my way
I feel a strange infatuation

She says
I know I've seen boys like you before
Baby that's for sure
And I know
Just what you been here looking for
Then she brought me to the floor

If it ain't dirty
You ain't doin' it right
I need a lover that can last all night
If it ain't dirty
You ain't doin' it right
If it ain't dirty
You ain't doin' it right
I need your loving 'til the morning light
If it ain't dirty
You ain't doin' it right
I need a little bit of dirty love tonight

Just when I thought
I'd heard it all before
Just when I thought
There couldn't be much more
She had another variation
On her knees
She faced me upside down
She tied me up
And turned me world around
She captured my imagination

Now I've
Been around I've seen all the kinds of love
Baby take my word
But with her
I know I'll never get enough
'Cause when push comes to shove

If it ain't dirty
You ain't doin' it right
I need a lover that can last all night
If it ain't dirty
You ain't doin' it right
If it ain't dirty
You ain't doin' it right
I need your loving 'til the morning light
If it ain't dirty
You ain't doin' it right
I need a little bit of dirty love tonight

If it ain't dirty
I need your loving 'til the morning light
If it ain't dirty

If it ain't dirty you ain't doin' it right


3. WITHOUT YOUR LOVE

It's six o'clock in the morning
Been another long night
It's hard to sleep with the memories
I can't leave behind
Though I'm trying hard not to show it
You know it tears me up inside
To know the love we shared has died
Baby

How am I to live without your love
After all this time
How am I to live without your love
Now the dream is over
And we've said goodbye

I guess we should have known better
Than to take it this far
We're both too proud to surrender
And now here we are

Many words are left unspoken
Many dreams have passed us by
Many nights alone we cry
Tell me
How am I to live without your love
After all this time
How am I to live without your love
Now the dream is over
And we've said goodbye

I've tried so hard to tell you
Not to throw away
The dreams we share inside
Now our dream is over
And they'll be no more goodbyes
Though I'm trying hard not to show it
You know it tears me up inside
To know the love we shared has died

How am I to live without your love
After all this time
How am I to live without your love
Now the dream is over
And we've said goodbye

We've said goodbye

Now the dream is over
And we've said
Goodbye


4. FULL MOON FEVER

Hey little girl
You know I need your love
I got the fever
And I just can't get enough
No, no
My head is reeling
And my heart's on fire
I'm gonna lose it
If you turn around and say goodbye

'Cause I'm
Stone cold crazy
And I got my eye on you tonight
So come on baby
I'm gonna open up your eyes
'Cause I'm

Running undercover
When the sun goes down
I go crazy
When the night comes around
Full moon fever
'Cause I need your lovin'
Baby all night thru
There ain't nothin' girl
That I won't do
Full moon fever

Hey I'm gonna tell you
Just one more time
I got the fever
And I've gotta make you mine
Oh, yeah
I get this feeling
When the sun goes down
I'm gonna lose it
If you turn around
And leave me now

'Cause I'm
Stone cold crazy
And I got my eye on you tonight
So come on baby
'Cause there's a bad moon on the rise
And I'm

Running undercover
When the sun goes down
I go crazy
When the night comes around
Full moon fever
And I need your lovin'
Baby all night thru
There ain't nothin' girl
That I won't do
Full moon - fever

'Cause I'm
Stone cold crazy
And I got my eye on you tonight
So come on baby
I'm gonna open up your eyes
'Cause I'm

Running undercover
When the sun goes down
I go crazy
When the night comes around
Full moon fever
And I need your lovin'
Baby all night thru
There ain't nothin' girl
That I won't do
Full moon – fever


5. LIE DOWN

You can't deny your reputation
Everybody knows you've been around
You make it hard to stay away from
When you're breakin' hearts all over town
But when I look into your eyes
I feel a fire I can't disguise
I feel a burning in my soul

'Cause when you look at me that way
I can't turn and walk away
Something deep inside
Makes me lose control
And I say
Lie down, I think I love you
I feel it's time
Time to lay it on the line
Come on
Lie down, I think I love you
I wanna see you on the floor

So many times I've tried to fight it
So many times I've never won
Although I know of love I'm guilty
I still deny that you're the one
But then the night rolls 'round again
I can feel it closing in
I feel the hunger start to grow

I'm running hot and running cold
Never doing what I'm told
WHat I feel inside
Is much too strong to hold

So I say
Lie down, I think I love you
I feel it's time
Time to lay it on the line
Come on
Lie down, I think I love you
I wanna see you on the floor
Come on and
Lie down, I need your love tonight

I feel a burning in my soul
'Cause when you look at me that way
I can't turn and walk away
Something deep inside
makes me lose control

Lie down, I think I love you
I feel it's time
Time to lay it on the line
Come on
Lie down, I think I love you
I wanna see you on the floor

Lie down, I think I love you
Lie down, I think I care
Lie down, I think I love you
Lie down, come on, come on, come on, come on
Lie down
Lie down
Lie down
Come on and
Lie down, I need your love tonight


6. OLD FLAME

Here I am alone again
As the night closes in
I lie awake and think of things
I want to say
The years gone by
And feelings change
But in your heart
A spark remains
A memory of love
That never fades away

And when time
Seems to repeat
The same old lines
I just turn away and
Think of how things
Used to be
When you believed in me

Old flames
Never die
They keep on burning
In the night
Old flames
Still they burn
Glowing in the dark

Sometimes I wonder
Where you are
Did you find the things
You were searching for
Or when you dream at night
Do you remember me
The tears have dried
And the pain is gone
But thoughts of you
Still linger on
Although I try I know I
Never will be over you

But theres times
When I can leave
The past behind
When I believe

I found someone
Who's love has changed
My life
But still I realize

Old flames
Never die
They keep on burning
In the night
Old flames
Still they burn
Glowing in the dark
In the dark

Yeah

Old flames
Never die
They keep on burning
In the night
Old flames
Still they burn
Glowing in the dark


7. BUILT FOR SPEED

Hey there baby with the dress so tight
The way you move your body
Lets me know whats on your mind
I wanna feel your sweet horsepower
I wanna take you up to ninety M.P.H.

'Cause I want what I can't get
If its love, I ain't found it yet
Now my fuse is set to blow
Baby don't you know

Bad, bad, bad boys
Are gonna shoot you down
Bad, bad, bad boys
Are gonna mess you around
Bad, bad, bad boys
Are gonna make you bleed
No ball and chain can harness me
'Cause I'm built for speed

Now I can tell by the way you smile
You got the fever girl
You know I like your style
So come on baby, you got nothin' to lose
My moter's runnin' baby, I'm to fast for you

'Cause I know that you want more
We both know what you came here for
You act shy but you wanna say
Take it all the way

Bad, bad, bad boys
Are gonna shoot you down
Bad, bad, bad boys
Are gonna mess you around
Bad, bad, bad boys
Are gonna make you bleed
No ball and chain can harness me
'Cause I'm built for speed


8. DARK SIDE OF BABYLON

As the morning sun is rising
I begin a brand new day
The time to cry is over now
For dreams of yesterday
I have put the past behind me
Now a new day has begun
As I look to the horizon
I feel the first rays of the sun
Here I go — once again
Here I go ...

As I look to the horizon
I see the sun go down again
So many tears and wasted years
For a dream that has no end

Somewhere across the water
I can feel her calling me
Like a silent cry from deep inside
For the man I used to be

But I’m
Still holding on
Though theres many times
When I pray for mercy
Still holding on
To the fire that burns
Like a flame

So here I go
Onto new horizons
To find my place in the sun
Here I go
Onto new horizons
To find my place in the sun
Here I go
As I find a new days begun
On the dark side of babylon

Now the time to cry is over
But I still don’t understand
Why the things I try so hard to find
Keep slipping through my hands

Like the distant sound of thunder
Theres trouble on the way
And I realize who’ll pay the price
When it comes to judgement day

But I’m
Still holding on
Though theres many times
When I pray for mercy
Still holding on
To the fire that burns me again

So here I go
Onto new horizons
To find my place in the sun
Here I go
As I find a new days begun
On the dark side of babylon

New here I go
Onto new horizons
To find my place in the sun
Here I go
As I find a new days begun
On the dark side of babylon

I’m always searching
To find my place in the sun
Here I go
As I find a new days begun
On the dark side of babylon

I’ve no place to run
‘Cause I’m always searching
A new days begun
On the Dark side of babylon


9. SUNSET AFTER MIDNIGHT

I got a burning fever
I feel a fire in my soul
I didn’t see the warning signs
Now I’m about to lose control
Can’t wait a minute longer
I’m going all the way this time
And tonight I’m gonna step
Across the line

On sunset after midnight
Nothin’s gonna hold me now
On sunset after midnight
There’ll be trouble in this town
So don’t be around

I’m getting hard to handle
Now I’m too much for you to take
I wanna taste it all tonight
So don’t you turn and walk away
‘Cause when the show is over
We both know that you’ll be mine
So come on and leave your other
World behind

On sunset after midnight
Nothin’s gonna hold me now
On sunset after midnight
There’ll be trouble in this town
On sunset after midnight
Don’t you be around

Don’t you be around
Look out
On sunset after midnight
Nothin’s gonna hold me now
On sunset after midnight
There’ll be trouble in this town
On sunset after midnight
On the boulevard of broken dreams
On sunset after midnight
I’m running wild and free

On sunset after midnight
I’m gonna be your man
On sunset after midnight
On the boulevard of broken dreams

10. WAYWARD SON

Far across the water
Way across the sea
Lies a new horizon
That holds my destiny
Leaving now to follow
Dreams that have no end
Turns another lover
Into just another friend

But
Deep in the night
I can look back upon my life
Wondering if all I did was right
But right or wrong
Once you leave you now
You can never go back home

Visions of the future
Memories of the past
Force me to remember
That nothin’s meant to last
In years from now tomorrow
Will be like yesterday
And all your dreams
You know in time
Like the years they melt away

But
Deep in the night
I think of all the friends
I’ve known
All the lovers I’ve outgrown
And now they’re gone
Once you leave you know
You can never go back home

Never go back home

But
Deep in the night
I can look back upon my life
Wondering if all I did was right
But right or wrong
Once you leave you now
You can never go back home

Never go back home

Far across the water
Way across the sea
Lies a new horizon
That holds your destiny
